The goal was to design a micro kernel OS that could run 32 bit POSIX binaries, 16 bit OS/2 1.x binaries, 16 bit MS-DOS & Windows binaries with an improved 32bit OS/2 API & Windowing system. Originally it was a future thinking version of OS/2 that would be portable, and was targeted for the coming RISC CPUs. The black bars are due to the hbrBackground being set to BLACK_BRUSH.Īs for application compatibility, I decided to change the OS directory from \WINNT to \Windows due to the new driver framework being implemented soon.Windows NT started life as NT OS/2. I'll be releasing a patch later today when I get home to address most of these issues (Not 100% about BOOTVID, but I'll implement the RTL code necessary.)Īs of the bad start button, that is due to me updating the icon in user32 w/ the XP icon. BOOTVID doesn't have the ability to pull resource files from the kernel at the moment, due to unimplemented functions (Or functions requiring different calls) I'm not exactly sure why it's showing up as red, but the initialization code in the kernel isn't completely implemented. The black bars is temporary, as well as the bad start button. The version mismatch is due to me not updating ntverp.h before rebuilding the system. *While booting it doesn't show builder or build version *In most cases red color means something bad like halted system, I suggest to change the color *While booting the bootvid flashes between red and blue, that means it's not fully implemented. *Joining to domain does not work correctly, the Server Manager sees your version as 4.7.4.5 So most of drivers and older programs would fail to install, because will install W95 version. \winnt means NT, \windows means Windows 95, if other directory then installer looks registry. Most old programs especially drivers uses installation directory as primary source of info, what version of Windows you're running. * Setup suggests installing OpenNT into \windows.
